CORE PROGRAM ELEMENTS
RAINFOREST IMMERSION
Our retreat center is nestled in lush rainforest, alongside a bounding river.
At our backdoor is 10,000 acres of rainforest that Posada Natura's partners, Eco Era, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization has been protecting for 30 years.
The retreat is uniquely supported by the healing pulse of the land and the symphony of the rainforest.
LED BY MOTHERS *TIME TO NOURISH*
The facilitators of this retreat are all mothers deeply devoted to the path of supporting feminine wisdom in all forms.
Embedded in the current divergence of masculine and feminine is the lack of understanding the balance of giving and receiving.
To allow our feminine energy to lead us in a balanced way a depth of rest and resourcing is required. We are modeling this for ourselves and for the world.
INTEGRATION FOCUSED
Integration is an essential component of this retreat. We believe that the true benefit of attending this type of retreat happens afterward- when you are able to integrate the teachings from the ceremonies into your daily life, create more harmony with your relations, and be of greater service to your community.
Opportunity to stay after the retreat with Kathe Izzo for up to one week for an integration program. Inquire with us if you're interested.
CIRCLE OF SACRED NATURE
Our plant medicine facilitators are ministers of Circle of Sacred Nature, a 501(c)(3) church in the United States. The plant medicine ceremonies during the retreat are considered a sincere expression of religious and spiritual practice though we welcome participants of all beliefs and backgrounds.
Our lead facilitator brings 25 years of experience and extensive study of 17+ years with the Kamentsa indigenous community of the Putumayo of Colombia.
WHOLESOME SAFE CONTAINER
Each group is capped at 14 participants, with exclusive use of the retreat center for the duration of the program. The communal experience at Posada Natura creates a sense of family and safety for each group. The land and space is a true sanctuary in nature that supports a container for deep inquiry and reflection.
ETHICS OF ACCESS & RECIPROCITY
We are committed to engaging in indigenous reciprocity. As an organization we support the roots of where our ceremonial lineage originates in Sibundoy, Colombia. We also have a scholarship initiative to increase access to our programs. By attending a CSN affiliated retreat at Posada Natura, you are supporting causes beyond yourself.
FACILITATORS
